Mobile banking and m-commerce have gained massive global traction over the past three years, with almost 600M people expected to use mobile banking services in 2013, up from 185M in 2011. With so many devices from smartphones to tablets to PCs, so many transactions and growing consumer demand for mobile banking, it's easy to understand why this is a major focus for many financial institutions.
Consumers have become increasingly comfortable using their mobile devices for financial transactions such as checking balances, transferring funds, making deposits and even opening new accounts. Unfortunately, in the arms race to release more and more feature-rich mobile applications, security has sometimes suffered.

"From malware to rogue remote deposit capture to mobile Web and app based attacks, incorporating device intelligence into a multi-layered security strategy is the only way to mitigate mobile fraud risk."
